Mold litigation

In 2009, St. Joseph's Hospital, Tampa was sued alleging that failure to control dust exposure from a nearby remodeling project caused Aspergillus lung infections in three children who later died.  I have been unable to locate additional information on the outcome of the lawsuit.

In New York an Appeals court has allowed a tenant to sue the owners of her Manhattan apartment building for mold exposure.  A report by Tom Scarlett notes that a tenants health symptoms were noted on October 1, 2003 when a new owner began renovations in the basement.  The case is Cornell v. 360 W. 51st Street Realty.
More information is available from the New York Observer.
